In A Nutshell

I've made a beautiful way

Out of grey, blue days and a heartache

Maybe this time I'll catch a real break

Mama, she taught me well

Put me through just enough hell

So I know there's nothing I can't take

I think I was Papa's favorite

And just as nature would have it

I didn't fall far from the tree

Dealing with all of the same shit

In therapy, trynna to break it

Still he gave this light to me

Love gives birth to pain, you know

And pain gives birth to lonely people

So there you go, so there you go

That's life they say in a nutshell

So there you go, so there you have it

That's life they say, it's a creature of habit

Flowers and babies are sweet

But I'm talking love that don't leave us

Maybe that's how it's supposed to be

Like God, I've made things I regret

Said stuff I wish I could take back

But I wrote this song for me

Love gives birth to pain, you know

And pain gives birth to lonely people

So there you go, so there you go

That's life they say in a nutshell

So there you go, so there you have it

That's life they say, it's a creature of habit

I've made a beautiful way

Mama, she taught me well

Put me through just enough hell

So I know there's nothing I can't take
